FMAXNMP (vector)

Floating-point Maximum Number Pairwise (vector). This instruction creates a vector by concatenating the vector elements of the first source SIMD&FP register after the vector elements of the second source SIMD&FP register, reads each pair of adjacent vector elements in the two source SIMD&FP registers, writes the largest of each pair of values into a vector, and writes the vector to the destination SIMD&FP register. All the values in this instruction are floating-point values.

NaNs are handled according to the IEEE 754-2008 standard. If one vector element is numeric and the other is a quiet NaN, the result is the numerical value, otherwise the result is identical to FMAX (scalar).

This instruction can generate a floating-point exception. Depending on the settings in FPCR, the exception results in either a flag being set in FPSR or a synchronous exception being generated. For more information, see Floating-point exception traps.

Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.

It has encodings from 2 classes: Half-precision and Single-precision and double-precision

Half-precision
(FEAT_FP16)

if !HaveFP16Ext() then UNDEFINED; integer d = UInt(Rd); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer m = UInt(Rm); integer esize = 16; integer datasize = if Q == '1' then 128 else 64; integer elements = datasize DIV esize; boolean pair = (U == '1'); boolean minimum = (a == '1');

Single-precision and double-precision

integer d = UInt(Rd); integer n = UInt(Rn); integer m = UInt(Rm); if sz:Q == '10' then UNDEFINED; integer esize = 32 << UInt(sz); integer datasize = if Q == '1' then 128 else 64; integer elements = datasize DIV esize; boolean pair = (U == '1'); boolean minimum = (o1 == '1');
